When I try to play the
Amnesia demo, it first starts normally, tells me the normal stuff, asks
for gamma setting (which all look the same to me, btw), I get to the first

The audio errors tend to be misleading. Really that is the openAL library detecting what is on your system. Can you post your hpl.log file? ~/.frictionalgames/Amnesia/Demo/hpl.log and the launcher.log as well.

According to the hpl.log you already have the Mesa drivers installed, but it's not version 8.0.1. Configuring the X server is not a fun task. If you're not used to doing it, i wouldn't mess with it.

I remember having some issues with the X server on my desktop once, that was a royal pain in the ass. I'd like to not have to do that ever again...

Texture compression S3TC: 0

You have no S3TC. You have to either compiled & install the libdxt_txcn library or (for more recent distributions) do some mojo to enable S3TC in the open source driver
